AltStreet Analysis
·Generated from EDGAR primary sources
EquityZen Growth Technology Fund LLC - Series 173 is a Delaware pooled investment fund vehicle filed by EquityZen Advisors and related entities, raising $145K from 5 investors with a $10K minimum investment under Rule 506(b) and Section 3(c)(1). This is an amended filing and part of EquityZen's platform, which operates approximately 150 related EDGAR entities focused on private equity secondary transactions.
This vehicle follows the typical EquityZen series SPV structure common in private equity secondaries, using the 506(b)/3(c)(1) exemption combination to remain outside Investment Company Act registration while limiting to 100 investors. The $10K minimum is accessible compared to traditional private equity funds and consistent with other EquityZen series vehicles operating in the same period.
